A pocket knife (but not the one used in the alleged crime). (?andrewrennie)

A Florida man is accused of committing a hate crime after allegedly stabbing another man for being Muslim—a fact he learned while the two were talking about religion. Bradley Kent Strott, 52, became angry when he found out about the other man's religion. He “grabbed the victim by his shirt, and stabbed him in the neck with his pocket knife,” according to the police affidavit. “The defendant stated that Muslims are the root of the problem.” Strott was arrested and charged with aggravated battery, the St. Petersburg Times reports.

No one should be attacked like that, neither Muslim, Jew, Christian, etc. Truly sad yet scary.

Articles like this make me ashamed of some Americans, but then I remember the people who get killed for being Christian in the Middle East and I remember that violent, hateful, ignorant douche bags live all over the rest of the world too.
